Guerande, France
This is the completely walled village of Guérande in southern Brittany. It is completely enclosed, with this being one of the impressive medieval gates leading into the old town. Inside, the streets are lined with alluring artisanal snack shops. This is bonbon heaven! Maison Georges Larnicol is famous for their la Kouignette, which with he won the prestigious MOF designation. This is a mini Kouign Amann, the smaller version of the delectable buttery and flaky pastry from Brittany. Georges Larnicol is also famous for his caramels. They taste better than your average caramel due to Brittany's cows which are famous around for their special butter. More gooey goodness!! Another reason the caramel tastes so good is because it uses Guérande’s world renowned Fleur de Sel, which leads to the real reason we came to this part of Brittany. I have been using Guérande Fleur de Sel for quite some time ...
